It is possible that a script on the page is vulnerable to "http response splitting". I would suggest googling it, because I don't have any links handy, but that would allow somebody to poison the cache of a caching server between him and his site with a fake web page. I don't quite understand your questions, but it seems to me that that could be a possibility. Hope that helps!

Needless to say I told him to download the spy ware and antivirus to try and catch this but I must admit I find this troubling. Has anybody else found or heard of something similar ?? -- Alex Gogan alex () fbi ie Future Business Intercommunications ~The Complete Internet Services Company~ http://www.fbi.ie Communications House 11 Leeson Park Villas, Sallymount Avenue, Ranelagh, Dublin 6, Ireland Tel:+353.14988588 | Fax: +353.14988589 Web: www.fbi.ie | Email: alex () fbi ie
